I have been down the AMD road, trust me when I say go with Intel CPU's. They may cost a little more, but there is a reason for it. Intel has the best thermal solutions, and over all quality and build. AMD's do perform very well, but are not high quality build and they have no thermal solution at...
I have read alot reports about guys overclocking the northwood 1.6 to 2.1 on the Abit TH7II mobo, but no one talks about how their PC800 handles running at PC1066. Can anybody that has done this give me some feedback, please?
The P4's 20 stage pipeline allows high clock speeds,but that is about it. It is not a very smart cpu, like the Athlon XP. If Intel would add hyperthreading to the P4 they might have something. I am starting to wonder if Intel cares very much about desktop pc's. I personally hope AMD & Intel both...
This might not work since the bios has been flashed already, but it's a free try! Take out your cmos battery on the mobo for at lest 1 min. There should also be a jumper with a 3 pin set-up by the battery, jump the other pin and then put it back to reset the cmos to factory settings. Hope it...
ASUS A7V266-E (Via KT266A) Or ASUS A7M266 (AMD 760) Best DDR Boards on the market hands down. You have own one to appreciate all the little perks of these boards. I own an A7M266, Rock solid stable for 7 months. NewEgg.com! Nuff said!
Your right Big-No tape-just plastic cover. I personally would scap off tape with a razor and use ActicSilverII instead. CoolerGuys.Com sells it. ASII runs your CPU about 5'F cooler than tape. Just a thought! Good Luck!
Windows XP constantly monitors your harddrive. It keeps all your most used programs toward the center of the disk for faster seek times,and looks for errors to correct,thus no need for ScanDisk to be run by user. I am running Windows XP and my HDD light flashes once every second like yours...
Asus PT4-E is the way to go,I agree. It will also support the Northwood. Read Intel's website on putting a 478 socket system together. You have to install the mobo to the case first. The new heatsink and fan system makes the mobo BOW when installed. I would imagine if you put the HSF on first...
